Canned Heat is a blues-rock/boogie rock band that formed in Los Angeles, California, USA, in 1965. The group has been noted for its own interpretations of blues material as well as for efforts to promote the interest in this type of music and its original artists. It was launched by two blues enthusiasts, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite, who took the name from Tommy Johnson's 1928 "Canned Heat Blues", a song about an alcoholic who had desperately turned to drinking Sterno, generically called "canned heat". After appearances at Monterey and Woodstock, at the end of the 1960s the band acquired worldwide fame with a lineup consisting of Bob Hite, vocals, Alan Wilson guitar, harmonica and vocals, Henry Vestine (or Harvey Mandel) on lead guitar, Larry Taylor on bass, and Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra on drums. Canned Heat is the 1967 debut album by the band. It was released shortly after their appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, and features performances of several blues covers. 01 - Rollin' And Tumblin'.mp3 02 - Bullfrog Blues.mp3 03 - Evil Is Going On.mp3 04 - Going Down Slow.mp3 05 - Catfish Blues.mp3 06 - Dust My Broom.mp3 07 - Help Me.mp3 08 - Big Road Blues.mp3 09 - Story Of My Life.mp3 10 - The Road Song.mp3 11 - Rich Woman.mp3 LINK (RS) or LINK (FS)
